Felt very welcome by Carlos, the owner. He knows each dish and the story behind it. We had the dégustation menu and a good wine de la Terra. We were not disappointed. The food was excellent and nicely presented. Nice dessert and lovely dessert drinks. We recommend it when you visit Girona. It is a place you will be sorry to skip. The service was excellent!

I’m reviewing this without even having the main course, the entrée was absolutely amazing, i tried every dish and all of them were perfect. The service is good even in the upstairs area. Im posting the pictures of the main course. I’ll update this. Update: the main course was excellent as expected.

Very Nice restaurant, we went there twice, the waitress was very nice, the food very good and nicely set up on the plates, and the service is fast. And finally, prices are not expensive for a location right in the old town.

We had a 3 course meal with a drink for 16E. My kids all loved their dishes we tried everything. Chicken, cannoli with bechameln all of it excellent. You get to pick 1 from 4 selections for 1st and 2nd course. Included wine or beer too. Honestly some of the best and cheapest food we had. The cooking was a little slow but worth it.
